Why choose this tour ?
Discover the Capitoline Museums with us, from the center of Rome to the center of the world. In 1734, Pope Clement XII purchased the prestigious collection of antiquities of Cardinal Alessandro Albani, which was about to be purchased by English collectors, and opened the museum to the citizens, making it the oldest public museum in the world. Among the most famous sculptures kept in the Capitoline Museums is the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, originally placed in the center of Piazza del Campidoglio. There is also the symbol of the city, the bronze of the Capitoline Wolf, believed to be an Etruscan work from the 5th century BC; the original statue did not include the twins Romulus and Remus, added in the 15th century and attributed to the sculptor Antonio del Pollaiolo.[7] Recently, some restorers have hypothesized that the statue is not ancient, but medieval and dates back to the 12th century.
